Noise emissions by Adamo, compared to MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone,

has anyone had the chance to directly compare the noise emission of the Adamo and the MacBook pro? I am looking for a very quiet notebook, especially when using it in a wireless network while streaming media . Most notebooks under these conditions start running their fan at high speed and sound like a hairdryer, which often disturbs enjoying the actual playback. How does the Adamo perform under these conditions?

This is how the noise emissions of the MacBookpro are described (and I experienced it myself, the MacBook "breathes"):

Noise Emissions

The noise of the fan is and always was an advantage of Apple notebooks. The designers focused more on a quiet operating noise and accepted higher case temperatures. In standard desktop use this is a clear advantage.

Under Mac OS X the fans run (even with short full load periods like Xbench) nearly permanently with about 2800 rpm under usual load. This is accompanied by a silent noise, which is only audible in absolutely quiet environments - measured 31.5 cm in a 10 cm distance). Even when running with active 9600M GT in performance mode, the fans are not really louder (with low to usual load).

However, under Windows only (only the 9600M GT graphics is available) we were able to bring the fan to higher speeds. When running games the fan of this aluminium PC reached up to 5500 rpm. Here the noise level of 47 dB(A) is clearly audible. Nevertheless, the noise characteristics stays acceptable.

To summarize, the MacBook Pro 5.1 can be called a very quiet notebook (especially under Mac OS X), which can also get quite loud in extreme situation.

Dell publishes these data regarding the noise emissions of the Adamo:

Would you say, the Adamo comes anywhere close to the MacBook?
